Presentation Options

Presentation Option 1: Shark Tank

Your goal is to “sell” your learning option to the rest of the class.  Think along the lines of Shark Tank, where you and your partner will share your learning option to the class in a fashion where they will want to invest in your movement, want to try the challenge, or believe . This presentation is done in person and if using visual aids, they can have NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS ON A SLIDE. The phrase a picture is worth a thousand words is where this one is going. Minimum of 3 minutes but no more than 7.

Presentation Option 2: Video

Create a video to showcase your learning option, but just as with option 1, we are requiring that you tell your story and not write it out.

Presentation Option 3: Artifacts

 

Build a model to represent the movement in 3-D form. Has to get approval by the teacher. Also, provide written explanation of what it is and why it represents your movement.
